Overview
- Liverpool beat Everton 2-1 at Anfield as Ryan Gravenberch scored the opener and set up Hugo Ekitike for the second.
- Opta records show Gravenberch, 23 years and 127 days, is the youngest Liverpool player to both score and assist in a Premier League Merseyside derby.
- The victory makes it five wins from five in the league, only the fifth time Liverpool have begun a top-flight season with such a run.
- Ekitike started ahead of record signing Alexander Isak and netted his third league goal of the season, with Isak introduced from the bench for his Premier League debut.
- Gravenberch said he has "more freedom" to get forward this season, and Slot revealed he had planned to substitute him around 60 minutes before keeping him on after Everton’s goal as Liverpool continue to evolve through careful rotation.
